In the pastoral community of Lake Como, under the shadow of the Italian Alps, lived two betrothed lovers, Renzo and Lucia. Preparations were underway for their wedding when a wealthy, unscrupulous nobleman, Don Rodrigo, cast his desires on Lucia. To secure Lucia for himself, he blackmailed the village priest, Father Cristoforo, into halting the forthcoming nuptials. This began a tempestuous journey for the betrothed couple, filled with trials and tribulation.
